Merrick has reevaluated their line of Before Grain dog food and taken it to the next level of grain free health and nutrition, creating a new standard for natural dog food. Merrick promises to stay committed to their five values that make Whole Health Made Right!

Looking at the chart below, divide the total cups per day by the total number of times you feed your dog per day to determine the portion size for each meal. Keep a clean bowl of fresh water available at all times. Every dog is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size and activity level. Please use the information below as an initial recommendation only and adjust when needed. Dry and we food in combination will help to increase the level of water in your dog's diet. If feeding with wet food, reduce dry amount by 1/2 cup for every 6oz of wet food.

The Texas Beef is a great high quality, high protein dog food. My dog ate Evo but I switched after the second recall. Then I switched to Orijen, but it was way too expensive. Then I found Merrick. My German Shepherd loves this food. I also like it is grain free, has a high protein count from meat and not vegetables. Shiloh's coat is shiny and very soft. It is a cost effective dog food as I only feed her 3 cups per day. Not to mention its easy to clean up after her as her stools firm.
